KENNY WALLACE ON O’REILLY RACEWAY PARK:
“O’Reilly Raceway Park is one of the first tracks that I got introduced to in 1986 when I started racing in the ASA. It’s a famous little short track. I’ve enjoyed some wild short track races there. I really like going there, it feels like home because it was on my schedule when I first started racing. There’s a big crowd there all the time, it sort of like Speedweeks with Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It’s a throw back race to the old days, it’s wild. Everyone starts getting impatient and beating and banging on each other and I’m always up for races like that.”
